Intergalactic Summit

False equivalency, Avala, but I'll desist.

Consider the above to be my statement on the matter, Avala-kirjuun. And a final one, on my behalf, at that. Rikaato, for your support in the matter, however, and to Priano-haani, for taking the higher ground. I grow weary of this repetition.

Our operations could concievably take place anywhere, miss. We are not involved, or limited to, the militia, and will be taking contracts both in the interests of I-RED and Ishukone, but also for parties of good intent, for whom rendering assistance will not harm the State.

Please excuse me, Ms. Avala, for my harsh replies. I was just stating that I am... not interested in conversations with Priano. And you can see why...

It is really hard to maintain respectful approach when you deal with such a nuisance. I will try to hold myself, but it is nearly impossible when they behave like that.

I have really very low tolerance, and I am sorry if it causes some disturbance or discomfort.

Go keep him company, then.

I sense that you're implying that's a bad thing, Miss Falken, but I'm just not seeing how.

Mister Nauplius is like an uncle to me.

The sense you get is yours alone, honey. Might want to stop and consider what that means, in that it exists at all. In the end, I'm a neutral party unless paid to be otherwise, albeit one with a smart mouth and desire to watch the "demi-gods" of New Eden blerf at each other endlessly.

On a note of perspective, though, I'll give you an example for comparison as to why nobody is cuddling Nauplius each time he get's his proverbial teeth kicked in. I'm using the reference "You" as a personal choice, rather than an intended insult. Frankly, it doesn't have any meaning if I don't start there.

Picture me cutting your throat wide open, and letting you bleed out, quietly, for no better reason than "you're there, and you're you", as far as you're concerned. I just showed up and did it, because I felt it's the right thing to do. You might wonder why, or you might just accept that I'm doing it because it's happening. Regardless, it falls firmly in the realm of "not nice", doesn't it?

To me, it's perfectly fine to do such a thing if I need to. I've done it often enough to people I don't know. Does my need at that moment make the act itself acceptable? Does the same perception apply if I do it to someone who isn't you? What criteria makes it something other than me committing murder, regardless of why? Can I say "Cold Wind made me do it!" and be free and clear?

I could quote a LOT of old Caldari philosophy that says it's perfectly fine to do things like that, starting with "Ruthlessness is the kindness of the wise.". Does that make it alright, since I can point to a bunch of stuff that broadly supports it? Is the weight of words anything but air in the end, or can I say enough that I'm suddenly legitimized and absolved of anything I say I am?

Stepping outside of your own head once in a while is a worthwhile trip to make, by the by. You'll be a lot less confused.

That said, this concludes Philosophy Corner for the day. I don't really think you'll take anything away from it, but I figured I'd answer, at least.

Wow! You must really like the sound of your Neocom's keys being pressed! And quite aggressively too!

*hugs*

There, there. You don't have to feel envious now.

Yes, speaking about bigots. Saya Ishikari is one of persons, who since her first reappearance on IGS started directly with hostiliy and trolling. She is also one of those persons, on whom I prefer to not waste my precious time.

As we can see even now, she resorts to nothing but trolling, asking me to "find reality".

So, Ms. Ishikari. This time I will actually answer to you directly, since you dared to offer me your hand after everything you said, and to show that I am actually open for discussion.

But in order for this to happen, you must LEARN first how to speak to your betters, and even if not to behave like a respectful Citizen, then at least to behave like a person, and like a hostile bigot.

And until that happens I am NOT interested in either seeing you or discussing anything with you. I will reserve for me right to refute any of your further words that might hurt our reputation or reputation of our Glorious State.

Until you learn how to behave, I demand you to NEVER address me ever again.

Dismissed.

I think it is safe to say that any bridges that were hoping to be built with you, Strike Commander, are now left burning with the fury of a thousand suns.



Thank you for deciding to leave this thread.

On to the actual matter at hand, thank you Akagi for your efforts against Mr Nauplius and his mistreatment of so many people. It's also wonderful to know that there are those such as PIE and Miss Auduin who are willing to work with Akagi to see this succeed.
